With Bloodred Hatred, Hatesphere prove you don't have to do anything innovative or indeed even anything new to make a great little album. Indeed if an album's greatness could be measured by how much it makes you want to mosh, then Bloodred Hatred is an instant classic.

The formula is surprisingly simple. Basically add two parts The Haunted and one part groove metal and that is it. The result is an excellent little modern melodic death-tinged thrash or thrashy melodic death metal album if you swing that way. Metalcore doesn't really describe the music here either, just as it isn't really applicable to The Haunted.
